Examples of attachment in the following topics:

  • Muscle Attachment Sites

    • Tendons are composed of connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone.
    • Most skeletal muscle attaches to bone in order to produce movement.
    • However, some skeletal muscle attaches directly to other muscles, fascia, or tissues such as the skin.
    • Not all muscle attaches via tendons.
    • Muscles can also attach directly to other tissues, which is most evident in the face.
  • Clavicle

    • It functions to attach the upper arm to the trunk providing sufficient support to allow free movement around the shoulder.
    • The shaft of the clavicle acts as the origin and attachment point for numerous muscles and ligaments.
    • The costoclavicular ligament attaches to the inferior surface.
    • Adjacent to this is the conoid tubercle which is an attachment point for the conoid ligament.
    • Muscle attachment sites are highlighted.
  • Attachment Theory

    • The development of parent-infant attachment is a complex process that leads to deeper and deeper attachment as the child ages.
    • Bowlby conceived of four stages of attachment that begin during infancy: preattachment, attachment-in-the-making, clear-cut attachment, and formation of reciprocal relationships.
    • When the caretaker picks up the baby or smiles at her, the beginnings of attachment are forming.
    • Children who have secure attachment to parents are more likely to be successful adults.
    • Discuss the contributions of Bowlby, Ainsworth, and Harlow to attachment theory
  • Muscles of the Wrist and Hand

    • It attaches to the mid region of the radius.
    • Attachments - Originates from the ulna and attaches to the radius.
    • Attachments - Originates from the humerus and attaches to the ulna.
    • Together they attach to the radius.
    • Attachments - Originates from a tendon of attached to the flexor digitorum profundus of the forearm, each attaching to an individual finger
  • Reactive Attachment Disorder

    • RAD arises from a failure to form normal attachments to primary caregivers in early childhood.
    • Mainstream treatment and prevention programs that target RAD and other problematic early attachment behaviors are based on attachment theory.
    • Children need sensitive and responsive caregivers to develop secure attachments.
    • RAD arises from a failure to form normal attachments to primary caregivers in early childhood.
    • Summarize the diagnostic criteria, etiology, and treatment of reactive attachment disorder
  • Muscles that Cause Movement at the Foot

    • Attachments - Originates from the heel and attaches to the toes.
    • Attachments - Originates from the fibula and attaches to the big toe.
    • Attachments - Originates from the heel and attaches to the big toe.
    • Attachments - Originates from the heel and attaches to the little toe.
    • Attaches to the toes.
  • Attachment and Entry of Herpes Simplex

    • Herpes simplex virus attaches to a host's cells with viral envelope glycoproteins, which then allows entry of the viral capsid into the host cell.
    • The genome encodes for 11 different glycoproteins, four of which, gB, gC, gD and gH, are involved in viral attachment.
    • The receptor provides a strong, fixed attachment to the host cell.
    • Herpes simplex virus attaches to host cell surface receptors using glycoproteins.
    • Following attachment, the viral envelope fuses with the host cell membrane and the viral capsid gains entry into the cell.
  • Neck Muscles

    • It originates from the mandible and attaches to the hyoid bone.
    • Attachments – Originates from the upper spine and attaches to the skull.
    • Attachments - Originates from the spine and attaches several vertebrae higher.
    • Attachments -Originates from the common tendon and attaches to the ribs and lower neck.
    • It attaches to the clavicle and scapula.
  • HIV Attachment and Host Cell Entry

    • The attachment and fusion of HIV virons to host cells are crucial to HIV infection.
    • After attachment, the HIV viron must next fuse with the host cell.
    • The first step in fusion begins after the attachment of the CD4 binding domains of gp120 to CD4.
    • Because HIV attachment is critical for the HIV replication cycle, understanding the specific mechanisms through which HIV attachment occurs has implications for potential treatments of HIV.
    • Define the unique aspects of HIV attachment and host cell entry
  • Posterior Muscles

    • It attaches to the clavicle and scapula.
    • The muscle converges into a tendon attaching to the humerus.
    • Attachments – Originates from the spine in the upper back and attaches to the scapula inferior to the levator scapulae attachment.
    • Attachments - Originates from the spine and attaches to ribs 9 through 12.
    • Attachments – Originates from the upper spine and attaches to the skull.
